Story Behind the Art: Rooted in 17th-century France, Savonnerie rugs originated from the royal Savonnerie Manufactory, famed for producing the most luxurious knotted-pile carpets between 1650 and 1685. Their intricate floral medallions, scrollwork, and framed borders evoke aristocratic elegance and artistic grandeur. Crafted with exceptional symmetry and vivid color palettes, Savonnerie rugs were pioneers in depth perspective, giving the illusion of three-dimensionality. Today, their legacy lives on through master weavers in India, Pakistan, China, and Iran, who continue to recreate these French-inspired masterpieces—symbols of timeless sophistication and regal décor.
